EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings have begun their offseason sooner than they hoped.

The question now is whether Favre will be around when next season starts.

Players gathered at the practice facility on Monday for the final team meeting in the aftermath of their devastating NFC championship game loss at New Orleans the night before.

Several Vikings said the overtime defeat hurt worse the day after.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Slide Brett Slide!!

Favre will be back, count on it!

Interesting that his last passes as a Viking and as a Packer were both intercepted...

[NormsRevenge]

I refrained from comment until today.

I feel for all the players that lost yesterday.

It was not for lack of trying... or knocking the snot out of the other guy.

It just wasn’t meant to be.

Time to draft another QB

and let this old plug go.

He will be back. 40 and still kicking butt!

[NormsRevenge]

He may well say, Hey I got a 2nd year on that contract and the pay is good... and they came OH so close.

Turnovers and a couple bonehead tosses ended the ride.

We’ll see who wants to go again.

[NormsRevenge]

Ironic indeed. one of the most prolific passers in
NFL history

[dfwgator]

Exactly. Minnesota should be considered a favorite to win the NFC next season if Favre returns. The big difference between Minnesota and Green Bay is that there is no heir apparent right now in Minnesota, like Rodgers was in GB.

Tebow to Minnesota???

[50cal Smokepole]

IIRC, you can include his stint with the Jets with those.

His first pass in the NFL resulted in an interception so it would make sense that his last pass would be the same. If it was his last pass.

I like Brett glad he has at least one ring.

Answer: Ice, Aspirin and Ben Gay.

Question: Name three things Brent Favre will demand that the Vikings pay for in his next contract.

FAILVE

[NormsRevenge]

He was going for his 4th SB ring, no easy feat in itself.

He’s a certain Hall of Famer anyway ya cut it.

The shots of his wife after he got nailed time and time again,, poor gal.. I bet Tavaris was grimacing too.

[dfwgator]

Tebow to Minnesota???

In a way that would be perfect, have a year to apprentice behind Favre before taking the reins. Although Tebow would look better in Honolulu Blue.

[VicVega]

LOL

I didn;t intend offend anyone with that comment.

40 is the new 20 I hear .. :-)

[NormsRevenge]

Tebow and Peterson ? Oh My!

[VicVega]

I think the camera pans to Warners wife are always more dramatic.
